Old Hawaii at its Finest
A rarely available, beautiful Hawaiian home - the land has been in the same family since 1873 and this wonderful old style Kama’aina home was built on the land in 2008, using traditional styles and finishes; and with superb attention to detail. It is a very much loved family home, available to rent only a few times a year. Situated on 5.9 acres this is a true gem and you won’t find another property like it.
This house is set up for Ohana (family) get togethers – sleeping 12 comfortably. There is no television on the estate. The family comes here to disconnect and decompress from day to day life, and to enjoy each others’ company – we invite you to do the same.
